How to Retrieve Data ?
How to Retrieve Data from Deleted or from FORM that show error as it des not exist.
One of My colleague created a Very important form which now is not working
Error as form does not exist.
Unfortunately the colleague has also left the company a year back but the Link & form was working fine till 30 dec 2024 Now the Link is showing this error.
How to correct the link and retreive old data.
Try this:
- Check OneDrive or SharePoint: If the form was created using Microsoft Forms, the responses might be saved in an Excel file on OneDrive or SharePoint. Look for a file named after the form in the root directory or a specific folder.
- Version History: If you find the Excel file, you can use the version history feature to restore a previous version of the file that contains the data before the form stopped working.
- Microsoft Forms Admin Center: If you have admin access, you can check the Microsoft Forms Admin Center to see if the form is listed there. Sometimes, forms can be restored from the admin center.
- Check the Trash: If the form was accidentally deleted, it might be in the trash folder of the account that created it. Check the trash folder in OneDrive or SharePoint.
- Microsoft Graph API: If the form owner’s account has been disabled or deleted, you can use the Microsoft Graph API to check if the form data can be retrieve.
